Abstract
This project aims to look at how a number of crises have challenged the project of a unified Europe. I do so by looking at how Germany – a country that has increasingly emerged as a leading voice within the EU – has been affected by and provided leadership through such moments. In particular, I focus on the Eurozone crisis of 2009-2013, the migrant crisis of 2015-2017, and the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. I aim to explore what these crises mean for the political, economic, and cultural project that posits Europe as a supranational body and unified collective. Using discourse analysis and policy analysis, I explore how German government leaders have dealt with crisis to show how they have affected European cohesion and mobility and consider how such incidents might impact the European project into the future.
